Also noteworthy- consumption of 4 pies for 3 people in 4 days. If you do the math that comes out to be 1.333 pies per person. Taking in to account the fact that my mom eats like a bird, my dad and I shouldered more of the burden than the above figure represents out of the goodness of our hearts. Because we're nice like that.

How gallant of you! ;-)My Thanksgiving was on the preparing side of things, not the relaxing side (though I did get a week off school). And that 4 AM shopping spree at Wal-Mart...never again. Scout's honor.

What I love about you all in the States is the high regard you place on "PIE". We don't have a lot ot that going on down here in the antipodes...just the odd "TART" or two....but "pie", and "diner" will always be the two words I most associate with your world....now I know 2 more...."Thanksgiving"...and "Black Friday".....you can learn so much from this blogging life !

for my part.. I don't know that "shouldering" a share of the pie-eating accomplishment is necessarily anatomically correct.... no doubt it was "heavy lifting" but with more of a abdominal focus.. I have just have a "gut feeling" I'm right about that.. Glad you had a nice visit!

Oh my god, I love it. I love everything about this - the boots on the left, the dog, the 1.333 pies per person...I just want to dive right into your life. I can't even tell you how much I love this entire thing. :)

It is so bad when you think you didn't eat that much, but then you sit down and try to do the math. I know I baked 5 pies over the weekend, and I know there are only 3 pie eaters in my house, and I know there were no pies left Monday.
